Amini, 22, was arrested for wearing the veil incorrectly and died from beatings she received while in custody, according to her family. The country is burning with mobilizations, strikes and clashes with the police that have lasted four weeks.
Iran experienced one of the toughest days of the protests sparked by the on Saturday death of Mahsa Aminiwith clashes in a dozen cities, strikes and booing for the president Iranian, Ebrahim Raisí, in demonstrations entering their fourth week.
The Iran Human Rights NGO has already estimated the number of deaths at 185, including 19 children, for the suppression of protests in the country by forces associated with the Iranian authorities. In addition, he has denounced the past hours the murder of 16-year-old protester Sarina Esmailzadeh as a result of a beating by the security forces.
After three days off without protest – Wednesday was a public holiday and Thursday and Friday are weekends in the country – the Iranian week began with renewed cries of “Woman, freedom life” after calls for demonstrations by university centers and activists.
Around Tehran’s prestigious Sharif University, small groups of young men and women without veils circled the corners and threw slogans amid a heavy police presencewith dozens of riot police in the area.
The shocks were especially hard in the Iranian Kurdistanregion of origin of Amini, where a day of strike was also held in the capital Sanandaj with closed shops.
official version of iran
Mahsa Amini, 22, died on September 16 after being arrested three days earlier by the so-called Moral Police in Tehran for believing she was wearing the Islamic headscarf the wrong way.
Iran’s state-run forensic medicine organization said Friday that Amini died of a previous illness, and not because of ill-treatment by the police. The family continues to claim that Amini died from the beating he received while in custody.
